What this means for your Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer
Hip dysplasia and ear infections, common in drop-eared gundog breeds, are both worth monitoring for. As a working breed developed relatively recently from a small founder population, sourcing from a health-screened breeder matters.
Regular ear checks and cleaning help prevent infections in this drop-eared breed, particularly if your dog spends time swimming or working in the field.

Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, large breeds like the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer are generally considered senior from around 5 dog years old.
